UAL May Give Dulles Flights
To the Airline's Shuttle Unit

CHICAGO -- UAL Corp.'s United Airlines said there is a "high probability" it will convert some flights at Washington's Dulles Airport to its low-fare Shuttle by United operation.

That would represent a new market for Shuttle, a West Coast-based operation that currently flies no farther east than Denver. It would also underscore how competitive the aviation environment has become in the densely populated eastern U.S.
